goldberry Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 The live one is much more frightening! DD said, "That's not the kind of chicken you eat, it's the kind you ride into battle!" :lol: 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 WOW. :eek: I thought you meant this Big Chicken: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Chicken Yup. That's where I grew up and how I learned where things were...turn right at the big chicken and it's about a half mile down the road... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 And I thought you might be talking about Beyonce the giant metal chicken. Beyonce the chicken's twin, btw, lives in the town next to me on a porch, and gets dressed up for all the holidays. For Halloween it was Big Bird; currently it has a greeen leprechaun hat and a green tie. :D That real giant chicken is something else... :eek: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldberry Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) And I thought you might be talking about Beyonce the giant metal chicken. OMG, I loved that story when I first saw it on the Hive. We use the phrase "this chicken will cut you!" as part of regular conversation... The original story if anyone is interested (or is trying to avoid doing something else ;) ) http://thebloggess.com/2011/06/21/and-thats-why-you-should-learn-to-pick-your-battles/ (language warning) Edited March 20, 2017 by goldberry 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 It's just a white Sussex, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinE Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 It's just a white Sussex, isn't it? One of the chicken groups I'm a part of (a girl can dream) seemed to agree it was a Brahma. https://www.mypetchicken.com/chicken-breeds/Brahma-B16.aspx 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinnia Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 WOW. :eek: I thought you meant this Big Chicken: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Chicken Me, too! The center of the universe is Atlanta, right? ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Earlier today, my husband asked me if I'd seen the Big Chicken. I told him I had no idea what he was talking about, while thinking, "because I haven't seen it on the forum yet." :D The chicken reminds me of either something from Sesame Street or something from the prehistoric age. Very cool! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Is there bareback rooster riding at the rodeo now? Because he'd be a good candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolate-chip chooky Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 It's just a white Sussex, isn't it? We have a gorgeous Coronation Sussex and she doesn't have the feathered feet, so I'm thinking this big boy is not a Sussex. And he's not allowed near any of my girls. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinE Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I've been drawn into the rabbit hole of Brahma chickens on youtube. Check out how gorgeous these hens are: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 WOW. :eek: I thought you meant this Big Chicken: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Chicken Me too. Because it was sort of recently in the news that the restaurant attached to it is undergoing a major renovation and people were worried that the chicken would be taken down.

I've just added Brahma to my chooky wishlist :001_wub: This article says moist, cool climate. Given all those feathers, I'm not surprised. My climate's too hot have them, but if we move to cooler weather (and more rural), they're on the list.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hit 'like' to acknowledge and thank you for your response, but I don't like it at all. :crying: No Brahmas for us. We've just had a nasty, nasty summer, with temperatures reaching 43C (110F). Probably not the best place for such a snuggly buggly chooky. I'll just have to move to the Northern Hemisphere one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watch where you go in the Northern Hemisphere (or move to New Zealand). Here in the US, temps that high aren't unusual in the Southern half. One September in Texas, we had a day with a high of 40C (104F) and 100% humidity with no rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
